    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • Update install and delete error says itunes is on a network unavailable.  I also upgraded Itunes and now it won't recognize my Ipad touch

    I upgraded Itunes about a month ago and since then It does not recognize my Ipod and then I tried to update again and it won't upgrade.  The error message says it's on a unavailable network path not found.  So I tried to get tech support they told me to delete and start over.  I went through my control panel and it gave me the same network error and would not delete the software.  I am beyond frazzeled over this.  Please help.

    Essentially 'b noir' is correct, it will be relating to the .msi file that is, for lack of a better word, screwed. It's a pretty long process in order to cleanly remove and redownload the correct file.
    Not really a long process if you can hunt down a copy of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you have that installed and working, then so long as you know which particular msi (or msis) are being complained about, you can get past the issue in most cases pretty quickly. For example, for an itunes.msi message see:
    error message that I'm missing iTunes.msi.
    There's some additional information in my notes on the bookmark about one possible complication requiring a bit more work. (I'm steadily building the additional info on advanced troubleshooting into bookmarks as I build my public Bookmarks, and eventually tag searches on my Bookmark tags should pull up advanced troubleshooting steps too.)

  • Husband registered phone on iTunes and now it won't recognize mine!

    My husband got an iPhone for Fathers day. The rep told
    us to register and sync it to the same iTunes account so that we could
    share songs and apps. He hooked it up this morning and got it registered fine. I then went to hook my phone up to do some syncing and iTunes will not recognize my phone.
    No matter how long I have it plugged in, it never pops
    up. Plus my iTunes account seems to freeze every time I plug
    it in. My husband can plug his and everything is perfectly
    fine. Did he somehow delete or replace my phone with his.
    I was assuming that iTunes would just recognize each phone when plugged in bit this is a mess! Any help
    PLEASe!!!!
    Thanks,
    Chrissie

    Do you have only one iPhone connected at a time? iTunes gets unhappy if you have more than one iPod/iPhone device plugged in at a time.
    I don't know if it will help, but most likely Apple will first have you uninstall iTunes then download the latest version and install it. The uninstall procedure is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US
    Good luck! Keep in mind that this should work; there are lots of people with multiple iPhones and one computer.

  • Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'.  This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes.  Any ideas?

    try this...
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

  • I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone.  It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging

  • I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

    I changed my apple id and password online, but my iphone still has the old id and now it won't accept either the new or old password

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. 
    If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad.  Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • Updated iTunes to 10.3.1 and now it won't recognize my iPod

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version, and  now it won't recognize any of my apple products. I have a first gen iPod touch, 4th gen. ipod nano and 5th gen. ipod nano. The ipod does work still, and is chargeable through a dock or a AC adapter. I've gone through all of the five Rs and reinstalled itunes, and nothing is working. My ipod won't show up in windows either. When I plug in my 5th gen nano, windows says the driver did not install sucessfully and itunes won't even acknowledge I've plugged it in. Any help would be fantastic, I'd really appreciate it. I put new music on my ipod all the time, and not being able to do so *****.

    Well yesterday I finally broke down and called apple service... I spent $29 and 1.5 hours on the phone, but the operator was finally able to fix my ipod. There was an issue with the itunes update, and it had corrupted. After uninstalling, installing, and updating several drivers, programs, and resolving other issues, my iPod finally works. Even better, the operator gave me a way to contact him again if I am having issues, free of charge. I would have much rather fixed this myself without spending the additional money, but I'll admit there was no way I could've done what he did, as there were certain orders to uninstalling Apple programs. My advice? Bite the bullet and call. They will get your iPad working again. (:

  • I updated my iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my simcard.

    I updated my Iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my SIM card. After updating, my phone went off and when I opened it,this message appeared; "SIM NOT VALID. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM." I can't do anything with my phone! How do I get it to change back to normal? BTW, I don't if this helps, but I'm from the Philippines and my sim card is Smart.
